I plan, dear Madame, on leaving tomorrow Saturday to come see you; My husband has held my place in the Postmaster's carriage: I would be much obliged to you if you would send [someone] to meet me at [R]etourneloup*, Sunday morning.Yesterday we saw M. [H]ébert, he must give me a letter for you.Until very soon, we have much to talk about don't we? I'm happy to be able to embrace you and show you the acute share that I [Page Break] take in your grief[.] A thousand affectionate wishes for you and [C]onstance, for your sons too

Yours

E. Samson

*Translator's note: Retourneloup seems to be a small place (village?) very close to Esternay and to the south—just down the road Rue Jean Jaurès.
